changing it up

I made my mom's famous cookie recipe the other day, but instead of the usual only chocolate chips, I added peanut butter chips as well. They turned out soo yummy!!! I know some people [jonathan] will say that I ruined them, but I promise they were good.

student of the month!

I am so proud of Scarlette for getting student of the month her very first month of kindergarten!! 

She is doing so well in school and just loves her teacher!! I go in to help out once a week and I'm really enjoying it!

WAY TO GO GIRLIE!!!!

mason overload!!

I take tons of pictures of mason it seems. They don't always make it onto the blog, so here is a picture overload post!

Mason loved Popsicles!

This kid loves bath time! When I tell him it's bath time he runs to the tub!

After a bath a told Mason I needed a diaper. He went to his room and got one and brought it back to me!

My little shopper walking around Lowe's.

Just like daddy!! He put on John's work boots and thought it was the coolest thing ever!

CAUTION! shark eating man!!

a happy fourth

Mason got to go swimming with just arm floaties. He loved it! He would just float around in the water. He also loved the fireworks! He just stared at them with wide eyes!

We had a fun day celebrating our wonderful country!

[notice mason's shirt says Mr. Independent. That pretty much sums him up 100%]

little model

I made Scarlette a skirt & matching hair clip the other day, so I decided to have a little photo shoot with her. She loves to pose; it cracks me up how she is the perfect little model for me.

i love this girl! ♥

baby blues

I just can't get enough of his baby blues, his smile and his cuteness.

Lemon Festival

For about 10 years I lived in Claremont and never went next door to Upland's Lemon Festival. This year we finally went. It was a lot of fun! Scarlette loved going on the rides. She was expecting it to be really boring. She even told me so on the way there, but when she found out there would be rides she decided it would actually be really fun.
